An Apple Books Classic edition.

Herman Melvilleā€™s classic begins with one of the most famous opening lines in world literature: ā€œCall me Ishmael.ā€ Moby Dick was a commercial failure when it was first published in 1851, but during the 20th century, the bookā€™s reputation grew and grew.

The novel features a memorable cast of characters, in particular the ivory-legged Captain Ahab, who lost a limb to the gargantuan white whale named Moby Dick. Now, Ahabā€™s sole obsession is hunting down the sea creature to exact his revenge. Heedless of warnings, Ahab risks ship and crew in his maniacal pursuit, bearing out Melvilleā€™s observation that ā€there is no folly of the beast of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men.ā€
